New pro strongman series coming to the us

We have been working to put this together for about a year.
The first Giants Live vent in the US will be in Green Bay, WI at the Resch Center on January 26, 2013.
The top 3 places go to the WSM 2013.

We already have some top pro competitors coming.
We are also having High School, Special Olympic and Police/Military/Fire divisions as an afternoon show.

The Special Olympic division is a fund raiser for Special Olympics Wisconsin.

The best way to stay updated is our ******** Page - Giants Live Green Bay

I will try and keep this updated as we get closer!

Here is the poster.

Anyone interested in competing or exhibiting, email me at the email on the poster.
We have an exhibitor/sponsor flier ready now and will have the applications going out September 1.

Awesome news! Nick and Callie Best usually have a Giants Live qualifier, Sin City strongman. Is this contest by invite, open or, do you have to qualify? Great to have Giants live in the U.S.!

It's invite, but we are taking requests.
Email me your contact info and when we send out the application information next week, I'll have you on the list [email]giantslivegreenbay@gmail.com[/email]

We are pricing out Baseball Cards for the competitors.
If you are coming as a competitor or spectator, what do you think?
Pros only?
Everyone signed up by earlybird deadline?
Would you buy a full set or just yours?
Offer for sale to everyone or just free with entry for competitors?
Any ideas, let us know!

I am also looking into playing cards, but the minimum quantity may make them prohibitive.

Are you a top amateur Strongman?
Have you dreamed of competing in the Worlds Strongest Man on TV?
It looks like we will be offering 5 spots to give the "Joes" a shot at the "Pros"?
Get your name in the list for applications when they come out

The New York Giants aren't live.

Would it be a good idea to compete in the high school division to get a jist/feeling of strongman, or should I have already been training for the events? I'm pretty interested in strongman but have never done any type of events

We are probably going to be picking the events this weekend.
You can practice a lot with improvised implements. Most other teens won't have access to real implements either. You can improvise a lot with tires, rocks. pushing or pulling cars etc.

Everyone starts somewhere. I would say, prepare as well as you can, then see what happens. Everyone has a first meet

Are you flipping tires, dragging sleds or anything now?

We have another Pro
